FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Synaptek
Unveils Accelerated Input Panel for Tablet PC, Smart Display and Pen
Tablets.
Mississauga, Ontario, -- Nov 25,
2003 --
Synaptek
Software today announced the immediate availability of TAPLESSxp(TM)
Gen1.0. TAPLESSxp breaks
new ground by delivering accelerated text entry and keyboard
automation technology to the Tablet Computing Environment.
TAPLESSxp
gives Tablet users an accelerated text entry solution for the middle
ground between handwriting and external keyboards. “Handwriting is
an inefficient and error prone way of entering large bodies of text or
even filling out forms. The Windows Input Panel lacks acceleration and
external keyboards are not always practical.” said Kevin Willows,
Marketing Director for Synaptek.
“TAPLESSxp integrates seamlessly into the Windows desktop
environment, putting advanced predictive acceleration, key programming
and a massive 130,000 word dictionary at the users pen tip.”
Full
Desktop Integration
The TAPLESSxp Input
Panel has multiple features designed to improve the desktop workflow.
The desktop Pen Waggle gesture brings the TAPLESSxp Panel to the pen.
Transparent windows let the TAPLESSxp Panel fade away or become
iconic when not in use. The
desktop environment is completely customizable.
Key Programming
Each key on the
TAPLESSxp keyboard can be reprogrammed to output up to five different
Key Programs. User can launch programs, go to web sites, fill out web
forms, enter logon sequences or even shutdown their computer, all with
a single tap or gesture and without leaving the keyboard.
Hyper-Adaptive
Prediction
The prediction
model used in TAPLESSxp instantly and continuously adapts to usage
patterns. Due to the
advanced dictionary compression used, TAPLESSxp can rank over 36,000
words continuously. Even
over large documents, context specific words are kept close at hand.
Word Browsing
The WordWeb
technology exclusive to TAPLESSxp operates on the principle of
successive approximation. This
allows users to browse to a word or phrase starting from any predicted
word. Operating like a Web Browser, all the words in the TAPLESSxp
dictionary are hyper-linked together by prefix.
Comprehensive
Dictionaries
Expandable in
real-time and fully maintainable by the user, Word-Web dictionaries
have no practical limitation on size or content due the unprecedented
capabilities of structured compression. TAPLESSxp ships with two
English dictionaries. The
30,000 word dictionary takes less than 160 kilobytes while the 130,000
word fits into less than 440 kilobytes of memory.
Pricing and
Availability
TAPLESSxp Gen1.0 is
available immediately for the Tablet PC and computers running Windows
XP/ME/2000 and can be obtained directly from Synaptek Software or any
of its authorized resellers. Pricing
is $54.95 U.S. for the Premium Edition with Key Programming support or
